Delta Scientific Prevents 2 Vehicle Attacks 8 Days Apart at Naval Station
Delta Scientific, a leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems, announced that, on June 3, 2019, when a man couldn’t produce credentials at Mayport Naval Station, he gunned his engine and attempted to enter. The security staff activated their vehicle access barrier, a Delta DSC501, to pop out of the ground. The vehicle crashed into it and was brought to a standstill. The violator was taken to the hospital and died two days later.
Eight days later, on June 11, a man, driving a Ford F-350 truck, also tried to get on base. Again, the DSC501 popped out of the ground and the attacker collided with it where the truck was stopped in its tracks. The violator was arrested and is now facing state and federal charges.
